Download Volunteer Registration Form Helping Homeless Community of Houston By Ghazal Bombaywala-volunteer I woke up to the sounds of the pouring rain outside of my window. I told myself that no matter what, I will do everything in my power to make sure the volunteers show up this morning at the Star of Hope T.L.C. Today was the Humanitarian Day event. I was on my way; the rain was getting harder and harder. This did not stop us. As the volunteers had started to arrive, each booth was being set up. All of the volunteers were ready for a day of generosity and enjoyment. As the event was being prepared and the guests started arriving, the rain started to slow down, the children began to come for the fun booth, and cameras started appearing. As the children started to appear, so did the parents and the food. As one of the young volunteers in Houston, I realized what a great tradition The House of Charity of bringing hot meals, providing Hygiene packs, giving out school supplies, and offering some fun activities to the local homeless community. They are also keeping the love, care, respect, and dignity of the Houstonian residents. The House of Charity has placed all of their efforts into providing high quality life essentials. They were founded in 1997. The organization offers high quality donated medical care and life essentials to improve life and health of impoverished children and young adults in America and around the Globe. Since inception, The House of Charity has provided aid to over 150,000. Star of Hope has been so gracious in working with The House of Charity in holding Humanitarian Day on their lot. They have been God's answer to the prayers of Houston's homeless since 1907. They minister to more than 900 men, woman, and children every day with food, clothing, shelter, and structured recovery programs. Through Emrgency Shelters and Transitional Living Centers, Star of Hope touches the lives of more than 7,000 different homeless people each year-including over 1,600 children. In all of the areas, items were donated by local residents. Many items were donated at a local grocery store, The following items were donated: back packs, blankets, towels, shampoo, tooth brush and tooth paste, mouth wash, soap, deodorant, hand sanitizer, toys, school supplies, rice, sugar, dry milk, beans, soft drinks, and snack items. Today is not only about helping members of the homeless community, but it is also about providing safe and healthy volunteer opportunity to us young members.
